Coldwell Banker King has joined forces with Carriage Park Associates as the community begins development of its final phase at Carriage Park. The new section, which includes approximately 250 premier home sites with long-range mountain views, will feature home prices starting at $500,000. King said the private, gated community, located 20 minutes from Asheville, and three miles from Hendersonville, N.C., offers an outstanding location, easy access to shopping and other conveniences, and a setting of breathtaking natural beauty. “It's no surprise this stunning community has been listed five times as one of the "Top 100 Master Planned Communities” by Where To Retire magazine,” King said. “With its scenic lake, clubhouse, pool, tennis courts and walking trails, Carriage Park is an idyllic mountain retreat offering a vibrant lifestyle for retirees.”Developer Dale Hamlin said Carriage Park is currently home to more than 460 families, and that number is climbing quickly as the real estate market continues to improve.Hamlin, who began developing Carriage Park in 1992, said this is his company's first time to partner with a real estate firm. He said he is excited about Coldwell Banker King's ability to promote the community both nationally and internationally.“My interest was piqued when I realized in just two years Terri King had taken her company from a brand-new start up to a 45-agent firm and number three in sales in the region,” he said. “The management of her firm is exceptional, and she has a pronounced ability to make things happen.”In addition to her company's sales record, King brings the experience of growing up in a family of developers. “This partnership gives me an opportunity to go back to my roots, as well as looking forward with all the technological advances that allow us to share the advantages of living in Western North Carolina with home buyers all over the world,” King said. “We're bullish on Henderson County real estate, and by working together, we look forward to bringing more home buyers into this area.”As one of the area's largest communities, Carriage Park was carefully planned from the beginning to provide a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own character. Making a place for residents to enjoy an active lifestyle in a peaceful mountain setting has always been the ultimate goal, King said. This final phase will be the last opportunity to buy and build a new home in this popular community.“The retirement industry is a large piece of the Henderson County economy, and the things that draw the retiree to the area are many of the same things that draw every home buyer—four mild seasons, location, quality of life, and surrounding natural beauty,” King said. “Henderson County has been a retirement destination for many years, and that's truer than ever in 2013 and beyond. Carriage Park will be a vital part of that continued growth.”
